A series of strategies and clinical practice for prevention and control of COVID-19 in COVID-19-designated hospitals / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the epidemic has been spreading rapidly. As an important base to combat the epidemic, the hospital infection prevention and control work is facing great challenges. In particular, as one of the first COVID-19 designated hospitals in a province and a large general hospital at the same time, how to prevent and control nosocomial infection among patients and medical staff during the epidemic period of COVID-19 is of paramount importance. Our strategies start with the three key elements of infectious disease management, namely, "controlling the source of infection, cutting off the route of transmission, and protecting the susceptible population." The in-patients in pre-examination and triage, fever clinic, isolation ward and common ward were inspected from fever screening, pre-examination and triage, personal protection, in-patient management, emergency treatment, accompanying care management, and environmental disinfection. A series of interventions were carried out to effectively cut off the transmission of COVID-19 in hospitals. After effective screening and rational pre-examination and triage for outpatients, emergency patients and inpatients, medical personnel received a series of training, scientific protection, and accompanying personnel were effectively managed and controlled, there was not a single case of nosocomial infection during the epidemic of COVID-19. This series of intervention strategies provides some reference for other medical institutions to carry out effective prevention and control of the epidemic.
